Why are there so many biotech and high-tech stocks in the newsletter?
A. In a nutshell, these are the industries of tomorrow, and thus they are the industries where
we are most likely to see above average growth rates when compared to other more mature industries. Though I am admittedly a very slow adopter of technology myself, I started in the Electrical Engineering/Computer Science program before switching to Mathematics when I was at U.C. Berkeley, and as a result, I feel very comfortable sifting through the investment options available in this sector. In addition, my first four-and-a-half years as a stock analyst were spent working for an investment newsletter in Berkeley that specialized in biotech stocks. Though I have been trying to keep a few non-tech stocks in the newsletter for diversification, I really do feel the exceptional earnings growth rates that can be achieved by well-run companies in the biotech and high-tech sectors (as well as the amazing volatility of their stocks) make them the smartest places for investors to have "most of their money, most of the time."
